Hello!! I am the only birth child, but the middle of 9. I have 7 adopted brothers and one adopted sister. Though I dont think of them as “adopted or birth”… they are just my family!!!

I have lived through a number of foster children, adoptive children and my parents were never candid about any of it. I have always understood what was going on. All my siblings know they are adopted.

Feel free to ask me questions, their disabilities range from Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) to bipolar, to spina bifida, and deaf-blind. I am also currently in school to become a teacher of the Visually Impaired.

I just started a group about disabilites and learning about the laws and how to do IEP's and openly talking about disabilities… if you want to check it out!!!


Like I said, I am open to talking about all my experiences, both good and bad. My siblings range from 30-6 years of age. The baby has the most problems. Some have mild to no problems.
